Who cares if our soldiers' body armor doesn't work

As long as the business made money, that's the American way, right?

Bryan of Why Now? notes:
DHB Industries made millions off their single-source contract for military body armor, some of which was definitely not up to specifications, but ripping off Wall Street is the only reason for an indictment anymore.
Anybody remember the complaints of soldiers who were told they could not use their personal body armor in Iraq because it wasn't military issue, this after families had pitched in to buy them? And then they were told to use DHB's product?

DHB Industries (now Point Blank Solutions) cavalierly had a hand in killing our soldiers by selling a defective product. The top two executives are going to jail for "securities fraud, insider trading, tax evasion and other criminal offenses in a 21-count indictment".

It should be for murder.
